Features:MPL-B230P-VJ72AA

• Brushless AC Motor Design:

  • The MPL-B230P-VJ72AA is a brushless AC motor, which means it uses a permanent magnet rotor and a synchronous stator for operation, which eliminates the need for brushes and commutators. This results in longer motor life, reduced maintenance, and improved efficiency compared to brushed motors.

• High Torque Density:

  • The MPL Series motors are known for their high torque output in a compact design, making them ideal for applications where both space and power are at a premium.

• Encoder Feedback System:

  • The VJ72 in the part number likely indicates that the motor comes with a high-resolution encoder for precise position and speed feedback. This is essential for closed-loop control systems where accurate, real-time monitoring of the motor’s performance is required.
  • The feedback is typically provided by absolute or incremental encoders, which help ensure that the system maintains high precision in applications that demand smooth and accurate motion.

• Rated Voltage:

  • This motor is typically rated for 230 VAC, which makes it compatible with industrial systems using standard three-phase voltage. It may also be designed for specific regions with different power grid configurations.
  • The motor’s voltage can also be tailored to match the voltage rating of the system, and voltage tolerance may vary depending on environmental and regulatory requirements.

• Motor Protection:

  • IP65 Protection: The MPL-B230P-VJ72AA motor is likely to be dust-tight and protected against water jets (IP65 rating), making it suitable for harsh industrial environments where dust, moisture, and contaminants could affect the performance of the motor.

• Efficient and Reliable:

  • The motor is designed for high-efficiency operation, ensuring that it consumes less energy compared to conventional motors, thus lowering overall operational costs.
  • High dynamic response ensures that the motor delivers precise control in applications requiring fast acceleration and deceleration cycles.

• Thermal Protection:

  • Over-temperature protection mechanisms are built in to prevent overheating, ensuring that the motor operates reliably in various environmental conditions and during extended or continuous-duty cycles.

• Customization Options:

  • Like other motors in the MPL Series, the MPL-B230P-VJ72AA motor can be customized to meet specific needs in terms of power, feedback systems, encoder resolution, and mechanical configurations.

Technical Parameters:MPL-B230P-VJ72AA

Applications:MPL-B230P-VJ72AA

• Robotics: Used in robotic arms, automated handling systems, or pick-and-place systems where fast, precise movements are critical.
• CNC Machines: Ideal for applications in computer numerical control (CNC) machines where positioning accuracy is paramount for tasks like milling, drilling, and turning.
• Material Handling: Perfect for applications like conveyors, sorters, and automated warehouses that require continuous motion with high precision.
• Packaging Machinery: Employed in high-speed packaging lines where accuracy, speed, and repeatability are essential.
• Textile and Printing Machines: The motor can be used in textile machines such as weaving or knitting, and in printing presses, where continuous, accurate motion is critical.
• Assembly Lines: Ideal for automated assembly processes that require precise control over the movement of parts and materials.

Customization:MPL-B230P-VJ72AA

• Motor Ratings:

  • Customizations in terms of torque output, speed range, and power rating can be made to match your system's performance requirements.

• Encoder and Feedback:

  • The motor’s encoder can be selected based on your need for higher resolution or different types of feedback systems (e.g., absolute or incremental encoders). You can also customize the encoder resolution for even finer control in high-precision applications.

• Voltage Configuration:

  • The MPL-B230P-VJ72AA motor is likely designed for 230V AC, but modifications could be made for higher or lower voltage configurations, depending on the region or system’s voltage requirements.

• Mounting Options:

  • Custom mounting configurations (such as flange mount or foot mount) can be chosen depending on how the motor will be integrated into the overall system.

• Shaft Configuration:

  • Custom shaft types (e.g., keyed, hollow shaft, or other specialized designs) can be selected for easy integration with other components such as gearboxes, encoders, or couplings.

• Safety Features:

  • Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality and other safety features can be customized if your application requires specific safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849, SIL, or PLd).

• Environmental Protection:

  • If the motor needs to operate in extreme environments, customization options such as corrosion-resistant coatings, higher IP ratings (e.g., IP67 or IP68), or specialized seals for dust, water, and chemical resistance can be specified.

• Drive and Control Compatibility:

  • The MPL-B230P-VJ72AA motor is compatible with Allen-Bradley Kinetix servo drives, but if you're using a different type of motion control system, you can discuss communication protocols (such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus, SERCOS III, or others) and drive integration during customization.
